A 22-year-old Wichita Falls man was arrested Thursday after leading city police on a brief vehicle and foot pursuit.

Sonny Dewayne Slay, address listed on Vicki Drive, was charged with evading arrest in a vehicle, according to Sgt. Joe Snyder, police spokesman. Slay also had outstanding warrants for theft more than $1,500 and burglary of a vehicle, Snyder said.

According to police reports:

Officers were looking for Slay, who they knew to have outstanding felony warrants. They saw him driving in a pickup truck in the 1600 block of Harrison, and they attempted to stop him near Collins Street.

That's when Slay began to evade the officers, according to the reports, driving south on Van Buren, west on Pearl, south again on Harrison and west on Kell. He eventually took officers near Avenue M and Taylor, where he stopped the vehicle then took off on foot.

Slay was chased down in a nearby alleyway by officers and arrested.
